Bharath Parepally can be commended for his determination to strike gold at the Telugu Box Office. In a career spanning close to two decades and over a dozen films, he has attempted different subjects and toyed with innumerable ideas but couldn't crack the code. Hailed by one and all as a wonderful technician, it will be classic case of talent failing to meet performance.

Bharath's upcoming film `Ishta Sakhi' is releasing on Friday the 29th November. The film, as the title, posters and trailers suggest, is a woman led and centric movie. Anu Smrithi is playing the title role and looks like a `Dear Friend' indeed. She even looks to have shed her inhibitions as some of the stills suggest, so the fans will be in for some skin treat.

The film's music is by Lalith Suresh and the tracks are soothing, though little old. Camera is by Shankar Kantheti and it will be safe to think that Bharath would have dominated him in the framing and taking. Dialogues by ace writer Maurdhuri Raja would be an asset for sure.

So, all in all, it looks like Bharath hasn't failed in getting the team together and getting the best output from them. What will be interesting to see is how the audiences, with their tastes driven by younger thoughts, will embrace the film. And yet again, for the umpteenth number of time, Bharath Parepally will keep his fingers crossed to check the BO verdict.
